"Real Housewives of New York City" hasn't even returned for season six yet, but already there is talk that the show may be canceled.

According to Naughty But Nice Rob, if the ratings for the upcoming season six don't improve as compared to season five's ratings, the show will likely be cancelled. A source close to the Bravo show said, "Insiders are worried. If this season does not do well in the ratings, I'm not sure if they will recast or just face the fact that it is over."

While this news is not exactly surprising - yes, we know, shows that don't get good ratings tend to get cancelled - it does mark yet another problem in a series of issues for "RHONY."

"Real Housewives of New York City" has not been on the air since October 2012 due to a number of hiccups when it came to filming season six.

First, there were issues with which cast members would be returning. As of April 2013 only Carole Radziwill, Ramona Singer, and Heather Thomson were slated to return, but it turned out that the entire cast from season five would be back.

Then, there were problems because the women wanted more money. Deadline reported last year that, "The Housewives took the modest pay increases Bravo was offering for season 6 rather than continue to hold out for big raises and risk getting booted off the Big Apple version of the multi-city reality franchise."

So, as of now, "Real Housewives of New York City" will be back for season six and will premiere sometime in early 2014. There is still no exact release date and we'll just have to wait and see how many episode end up airing or whether there will be a season seven.
